[NET_SCHED] BUG in qdisc TBF (token bucket filter)

BUG in qdisc TBF (token bucket filter).

 Problem in    : Kernel 2.4.22 (and newer, tested till 2.4.25-rc2)
 Problem NOT in: kernel 2.4.21 (and older)

Problem:
--------
 After I add an tbf qdisc to an htb class, then the htb class disappear
 from the output-listing "tc -s class ls dev ethX".

tc-versions:
 I have tested with different version of the "tc" utility.
 And different versions of the htb patch.

 "tc utility, iproute2-ss010824" (debian's iproute)
 "tc utility, iproute2-ss020116" (with htb3.6-020525)

I've not tested if the tfb qdisc and htb class still works, but only
that the output-listing is wrong.  (I'm running 2.4.21 on my
router/firewall to be on the safe side.)

Howto reproduce:
----------------
 #Removing previous 'root' handle/classification
 /sbin/tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
 #
 /sbin/tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 10
 #
 /sbin/tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:10 htb rate 500kbit

 # output-listing of class'es
 tc -s class ls dev eth0
 #
 # output:
 class htb 1:10 root prio 0 rate 500Kbit ceil 500Kbit burst 2239b cburst 2239b
  Sent 812 bytes 6 pkts (dropped 0, overlimits 0)
  lended: 6 borrowed: 0 giants: 0
  tokens: 27239 ctokens: 27239

 # the tbf line
 /sbin/tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:10 handle 4210: tbf rate 500kbit \
          latency 50ms burst 2239b

 # output-listing of class'es
 tc -s class ls dev eth0
 #
 # output:
 <NOTHING>

The output-listing of class'es returns, if I remove the tbf qdisc again.

Diff between file /net/sched/sch_tbf.c in kernel 2.4.21 and 2.4.22 is
attached.

Yeah, I botched class reporting in TBF, I am sending 2 patches as followups
to this message:

01-tbf-class-reporting.patch - actual fix
02-tbf-trailing-whitespace.patch - removes trailing whitespace from TBF code

The patches are against 2.6 but I am pretty sure they will apply to 2.4.

Problems with WLAN orinoco_pci

[Matthias Jim Knopf]

Hi!

My WLAN net goes down from time to time. I cannot ping the wlan/dsl-router
(T-Sinus 111) and the only thing that helps is re-load the kernel-driver
(ifconfig eth1 down; modprobe -r orinoco_pci;
 sleep 8; ifconfig eth1 up; iwconfig ...)

Changing speed (down to 1 Mb/s) does no better

Bisides this, I have annother problem: This f***ing router mentioned
above cannot handle at least one connection per second in the long run
(>30 minutes) and crashes in the way, that it still may be pinged, but
I cannot access the router's web-interface, nor can I get to the internet
and have to power-cyle it (official advice from the company selling it!)
I tried hard to see these problems as one, but it seems, they ARE
two (see logs)


Here is, what I can offer you as info:
WLAN is a Netgear PCI MA311 (using hermes, orinoco)

That's a lot of whitespace cleanup in there too.

I'm having similar problems with a PCMCIA orinoco wlan device.  Works 
perfectly with various 2.4.X kernels but keeps (partially) dropping the 
connection with 2.6.X kernels.  By partially, I mean connections are 
lost and pings report target hosts as unreachable but netstat -r reports 
make it look like the connection is still valid.  Doing an ifup (without 
a preceding ifdown) seems to fix the problem.

If more information would be helpful or testing is required don't 
hesitate to ask.

It's only whitespace cleanup... See the changeset comment. Ahh, I see...
I have the same subject on both emails. Doh! Well, it was almost 2AM...
